Sure, if they can show that you took them.
Perhaps they have other evidence, like in-store video, or witnesses.

Did you ask yourself why the police showed up to your place and not anyone else? this should give you a clue!

I just wanna know what happened? And how did the police came to you? Have you stole the items and ran with it? For how long after that did they appeared?
